The next day, Lin Zhi began to research an antidote for himself.

The process of researching antidotes is far more difficult than poisoning. There are many types of poisons in his body. They are in a delicate state of checks and balances all year round. If you want to break this check and balance, you need to endure tremendous pain.

Shen Shu accompanies him every day and boils medicine for him herself.

Lin Zhi endured the pain and drank bowl after bowl of the dark soup.

Every time he took the medicine, he wanted to kiss Shen Shu, but he couldn't bear to let her suffer.

People who live at the top of their hearts cannot suffer.

But Shen Shu was reluctant to let him suffer. Every time Lin Zhi took medicine, she would kiss him with a piece of candy in her mouth.

When the kiss ended, Lin Zhi held Shen Shu in his arms. Shen Shu could feel that even in the hot summer, his body was still very cold.

It's colder than usual.

She subconsciously hugged him tightly, and then she felt that although Lin Zhi was calm on the surface, his body was shaking slightly.

He endured the severe pain while hugging her.

Her heart suddenly felt very painful, and she wished she could suffer on his behalf.

But in the end, there was no other way. She could only hug him tightly and use her body to keep him warm.

Then he raised his hand, took his cold hand in his, then made their palms face each other, inserted his delicate fingers into his fingers, and spoke softly,

"Azhi, you said, tomorrow will definitely be better than today, right?"

…

After taking this medicine for two days and Lin Zhi suffering for two days, Shen Xiao came.

Shen Shu stood at the door of the palace to greet Shen Xiao. The moment she saw him, she almost didn't recognize him. It wasn't until Shen Xiao rushed towards her and called out "sister" excitedly that she realized and pushed Shen Xiao away. Xiao hugged him in his arms.

However, she only hugged him for a moment, and Shen Xiao naturally left her arms.

Even though the young man is only thirteen years old, he understands that Shen Shu is no longer his biological sister. If he is too close, outsiders will gossip about her.

So he would rather feel less of his sister's tenderness than have his sister gossiped about.

However, Shen Shu didn't know Shen Xiao's little thoughts, so she only said in surprise, "Last year you were as tall as me, but this year you are so much taller than me."

Shen Xiao nodded sheepishly.

The two siblings entered the palace together, but Chang Lan walked towards them. Shen Xiao lowered his head subconsciously when he saw Chang Lan.

He lived a miserable life before Chang Lan came back. He was beaten by Chang Feng and Chang Sheng in turns every day, and his nose and face were bruised and swollen every day. Later, when Chang Lan came back and stopped them from beating him in the face, he got better. many.

Not only that, she also...

Thinking of this, he felt his face burning up. It wasn't until Chang Lan had gone far that he felt much better.

Shen Shu felt Shen Xiao's strange behavior, turned around and asked him with concern, "Xiao'er, what's wrong?"

Shen Xiao nodded quickly, "It's okay."

She led Shen Xiao into the courtyard. In the courtyard, Lin Zhi was looking at the flower plants again. Today, one flower had a small flower bud. Lin Zhi was curious and kept staring at it.

He watched for a while longer before turning back to look at Shen Shu and Shen Xiao.

The young man stood beside his sister, as if he wanted to protect her. When Lin Zhi saw his appearance, he suddenly curled his lips.

No one knew that the night before he was to take Shen Shu to leave the capital, Shen Xiao suddenly found Lin Zhi.

The young man was covered in injuries, but there was no hint of cowardice in his eyes. He said to Lin Zhi, "I know you are choosing someone to be the emperor, and I want to be the emperor."

Lin Zhi looked at him and just sneered, "There are so many princes, why is it you?"

The young man thought for a long time, but couldn't answer.

It wasn't until Lin Zhi turned his head to leave that he suddenly said, "I want to protect my sister! I want to protect Jingninghou Mansion!"

After saying this, he suddenly felt a lot of courage. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Zhi's back without fear.

His ambition is not big at all.

He just wants to...protect Jingninghou Mansion...protect his sister...

After hearing what he said, Lin Zhi just said "tsk", then turned his head and said, "This reason is not enough."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Changfeng standing on the branch, "Changfeng, beat him."

…

When Shen Shu saw Lin Zhi, she immediately walked towards him. Because she was facing the sun, Lin Zhi could not see her expression clearly. It was not until she walked in front of him and blocked the scorching sun with her figure that he saw it. She showed concern on her face.

She said softly, "Azhi, are you feeling better?"

Lin Zhi wanted to respond, but his eyes saw Shen Xiao's clenched fists and his eyes staring at Shen Shu's back.

Tsk, that’s not what the emperor does.

He then shook his head and handed his hand to Shen Shu. Shen Shu subconsciously raised her hands to wrap his hands in hers. After feeling that he was indeed a little cold, she turned back to look at Shen Xiao, "Xiao Son, I have something else to do, please let Chang Lan take you around the palace first, I will be back soon."

Shen Xiao was immediately discouraged and said "Yeah".

Shen Shu then took Lin Zhi back to the house. Lin Zhi lay leisurely in her arms and played with her hands.

Shen Shu's hands are delicate and tender, just like hers, making people want to take a bite just by looking at them.

He then brought her hand to his lips and kissed her gently from her palm to her fingertips.

After kissing Shen Shu until the itching became unbearable, she broke away from him and said softly, "Azhi, what are you doing?"

…

At the same time, Shen Xiao met Chang Lan again.

He suddenly felt embarrassed again, lowered his head, not daring to look at her, but Chang Lan was too slow to understand his little thoughts, and asked him, "How are the injuries on your body? Do you need more medicine?"

Shen Xiao became even more embarrassed. He shook his head repeatedly, not wanting to experience the embarrassment of being drugged by Chang Lan again.

Chang Lan didn't ask any more questions, and just walked with Shen Xiao in the palace. Shen Xiao occasionally talked to her, but she answered patiently.

After talking for a while, Shen Xiao didn't know what to say anymore, so he suddenly asked, "Is your prince treating my sister well?"

Chang Lan said very naturally, "Of course that's good."

When she said this, there was even a little excitement in her tone.

Shen Xiao couldn't help but lowered his head again and whispered, "Then why..."

Then why didn't King Bei'an marry his sister...

He didn't want to miss his sister, but the King of Bei'an didn't want to marry his sister, so he always had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart.

Even though he knew it shouldn't exist, he just couldn't let it go completely.

Shen Xiao's voice was very small, but Chang Lan still heard it and asked, "Why?"

Shen Xiao quickly shook his head.

From the "why" and the shaking of his head, Chang Lan saw Shen Xiao's doubts about the relationship between Shen Shu and Lin Zhi.

As a staunch supporter of Shen Shu and Lin Zhi, Chang Lan raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Although I don't know why, the prince is really very good to Miss Shen."

After saying that, she added, "Miss Shen is also very good to the prince."

"You have to believe in their feelings!"

Shen Xiao looked at Chang Lan's firm eyes and finally nodded.

…

Shen Xiao stayed in the house for a day. On this day, Lin Zhi became ill for the whole day.

It wasn't until Shen Xiao was sent away that he felt better. Although he felt better, he still hugged Shen Shu and wouldn't let go.

Shen Shu felt his pain, hugged him tightly and coaxed him softly, "It's okay, it'll be fine in two days."

Lin Zhi looked into Shen Shu's gentle eyes, endured the pain in his body, and held her hand tightly.

In the past few days, Shen Shu specially found a beauty couch in a sunny place for Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi squinted slightly, feeling the sunlight shining on his face.

The days are getting warmer and warmer these days, and the smell of summer is getting stronger and stronger.

He looked at the sunlight falling on Shen Shu's face and suddenly wanted to answer her question.

Aluo, tomorrow will definitely be better.

Not only tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day from now on, it will get better and better.

…

Time passed by two days later, and it was a sunny day.

Outside the door, Chang Lan was practicing martial arts, Chang Sheng was thinking about where to find a girl, and Chang Feng was expressionless, leaning against a tree with his sword in his arms.

In the house, Shen Shu didn't put her arms around Lin Zhi's waist until it got dark. Lin Zhi picked her up and paused for a while before asking, "Do you want to light a lamp?"

Shen Shu had always disliked burning lights. She didn't want Lin Zhi to see her flushed face and shameful expression, so she hurriedly buried her face in his arms and whispered, "No."

Lin Zhi was a little disappointed, but he still blew out the candles honestly.
